An AFP (Agence France Presse) press dispatch indicated last friday that Julie Delpy had started filming her sequel to "2 days in Paris", "2 days in New York".

PARIS — L'actrice et réalisatrice française Julie Delpy a donné les premiers tours de manivelle de son nouveau film, "Two Days in New York", suite de ses vacances amoureuses "in Paris", a indiqué vendredi son distributeur, Rezo.

The French actress and director Julie Delpy started filming her new movie, "2 days in New York", the sequel to "2 days in Paris", indicated last friday her distributor.

Trois ans après "Two Days in Paris", le tournage a commencé à Manhattan le 25 octobre pour six semaines, a précisé Rezo.

Three years after "2 days in Parisé, filming started the 25th of October in Manhattan and for 6 weeks, said Rezo.

De retour à New York après l'intermède parisien, Marion (Julie Delpy - auteur-réalisatrice-actrice de ses longs métrages) s'est séparée de son compagnon Jake (Adam Goldberg): on la retrouve au côté de son nouvel amoureux, incarné cette fois par l'acteur noir américain Chris Rock.

Back in New York after the Parisian interlude, Marion (Julie Delpy, writer, actress and director) split up with Jake (Adam Goldberg): we find her with her new boyfriend, the afro-american actor Chris Rock.

Pour son (vrai) père qui lui rend visite à New York - sa mère est décédée entre temps, dans la vie comme au cinéma -, le choc culturel est double et son irruption va perturber la vie de la jeune femme.

For her (real) father who visits her in New York - her mother has died, in the film as well as in real life - the cultural shock is double and his intrusion will disturb the young woman's life.

Quant à Chris Rock, il est davantage habitué aux grosses productions humoristiques avec Eddy Murphy qu'aux films d'auteur.

Chris Rock is usually more used to big humorous productions with Eddy Murphy than independent movies.

La sortie est prévue pour la fin de l'année 2011.

Release is expected in the end of 2011.

(Translation from me)

Indeed, Stacy testified at On Location Vacations that "Yesterday walked past “2 Days in New York” feature film on Broome, before Chrystie. Pretty sure I saw Julie Delpy (director and star) on the street."

New Yorkers be alert, give us some news!

New Yorkers, stay alert! Casting has begun for 2 days in New York, the sequel to 2 days in Paris, written and directed by Julie Delpy.

A first ad by Chrystie Street Casting says they need a Vietnamese couple, mid 50'-60', speaking both Vietnamese and English...

All details in the link! Shooting should be this automn/winter in the Big Apple...

Un petit film de Julie Delpy sur ses projets pour l'année à venir...

Notez qu'après Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy confirme qu'elle aimerait aussi faire une suite à Before Sunset, le tout étant de trouver une histoire "qui fonctionne"...

Julie Delpy talks about her projects for the year to come: Skylab, then 2 days in New York (where she explains why we won't see Adam Goldberg...). At the end of the video, she confirms that Ethan Hawke, Richard Linklater and her would like to film a sequel to Before Sunset. There is just to find the right story...

A small article on NonStopEntertainment's acquisitions at the Berlinale 2010 reveals some precisions about Two days in New York, the sequel to Two Days in Paris:

2 DAYS IN NEW YORK, acquired from Rezo films. Julie Delpy follows the worldwide success of 2 Days in Paris, a box office hit which grossed over $20 000 000 worldwide with 2 DAYS IN NEW YORK. Marion, played by Delpy herself, has broken up with Jack and lives in New York with their child and has a new boyfriend played by Chris Rock. When her french family decides to come visit, the different cultural values make up for an explosive mix. The film is in production and will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival 2011. NonStop Entertainment is distributing 2 DAYS IN NEW YORK in Scandinavia and Iceland.

A year of waiting then! Prepare yourselves for some Red Carpet...:)

The Hollywood Reporter gives more precisions about Skylab, which Julie Delpy is about to film in Brittany next month:

"It's a real feel-good movie. It's tender and funny, in the spirit of '2 Days in Paris'," producer Michael Gentile told THR. "It's really Julie Delpy's vision of France through the eyes of a French woman who has lived in the U.S. for many years."

Empireonline tells us that:

The Skylab of the title refers to the NASA space station that made an unplanned return to terra firma in 1979. We're not sure of the connection there, but Gentile calls the film "Julie's vision of France through the eyes of a French woman who has lived in the US for many years." Maybe it's a metaphor about crashing back down to Earth?

and, about "Two days in New York", the sequel to "Two days in Paris":

There's no information yet about the Two Days in Paris sequel, except that it's called Two Days in New York. Not much of a stretch then, to infer that this might well be the reverse of the original, with Delpy visiting Adam Goldberg's folks in the Big Apple. Expect much in the way of Linklater-influenced
slacker-chic and improvised dialogue. Expect it to be great.

Oh, yes we do!
